Chapter 463: Departure from Haiphong Port
"Xiyan, the wind is strong on the sea, wear one more piece of clothing."
"I understand, you should pay more attention in Hong Kong. It will be almost rainy this day. Remember to bring an umbrella when you go out." Lu Xiyan reminded.
Meng Fanxing was stunned. It was a good day. How could she remind her to bring an umbrella? However, she was a smart woman and immediately understood that Lu Xiyan was reminding Hong Kong that there were dangers, reminding her to pay attention to safety and protect herself.
The heart couldn't help but feel a little sweet. Although she was not a comrade, she was already like-minded. I believe this day will not last long, and she was very excited.
Not far away, Tan Si was wearing a gray plaid coat, a baseball cap, and a small leather bag in his hand. His eyes looked at him from time to time.
It's time to start the boat.
"I'm on the boat, don't worry. This is not the first time I'm going out alone. Besides, Tan Si is protecting me on the way." Lu Xiyan gently stroked Meng Fanxing's jade-like face.
I feel a little reluctant to part suddenly. Over the years, I have been together day and night, and each other has regarded each other as people who are together.
"Smoke less cigarettes and drink less alcohol," Meng Fanxing said.
"knew."
"Also, don't go to places like that with Monte. I've heard that there is chaos in Haifang Port." Meng Fanxing reminded him with a face.
"Don't worry, I can sit still with such a beautiful woman as you, and those vulgar powders can still catch my eyes?" Lu Xiyan reached out and gently scraped her nose and said with a smile.
"I don't know if you dare."
"By the way, that Hong Sihai is a good man, quite loyal, and is grateful. He is also a native of Hong Kong. If you have something to do, you can ask him to help you run errands." Lu Xiyan said.
"Aren't we doing our kindness without seeking repayment?"
"I know, but Hong Sihai is a person who will repay kindness. If we insist on pushing others out of good intentions, we will hurt him. During this period, he took care of his mother in the hospital and could not go out to sea to fish, so he would lose his income. You can use him to run errands and then give him some rewards. This will not only help him, but also be the best of both worlds." Lu Xiyan said.
"Okay, I understand." Meng Fanxing nodded.
Check tickets and board the ship.
This is just an ordinary passenger ship heading to Haifang Port. Although the ship is not big, it can accommodate four or five hundred people at a time, relatively speaking, the facilities on the ship are much worse.
There is no suite, the best one is a sleeper, and it is a room for four people.
"Go to get your hands on, give it up..."
Lu Xiyan bought a lower bunk. When he entered the cabin, he just put down his suitcase, and a person came in at the door. A middle-aged bald man who looked a little greasy came in with a big suitcase. He was wearing a suit, but his leather shoes were a bit old and covered with dirt.
After a while, Tan Si came in with his bag. He had his own means and bought a ticket in the same cabin as Lu Xiyan, but it was a bunk diagonally opposite.
It doesn't matter, it's all right in a cabin.
The last person who came in was a woman, about thirty years old, with a dark red cheongsam and a shawl in fox fur. She walked in a small suitcase, swaying in a swaying posture and a fragrance.
It looks proud with her eyes, bright red nails and lips, and a cigarette on her hands. She looks like the kind of woman who has experienced in the world.
"Sir, please don't know, let me know if I can give the lower bunk to me?" The woman glanced at Lu Xiyan, without saying a word, but instead said to the bald man.
"Why don't you ask him to give it to you?" The bald man pointed his hand at Lu Xiyan and asked with a cold snorting.
Tan Si, who was tidying up the bed, heard it, turned his head and looked down, and prepared it, but Lu Xiyan's eyes stopped him. When he was away, patience and humility were a science.
"This gentleman is gentle and elegant. He is obviously a scholar. If you let a scholar climb up and down, you will lose your identity." The cheongsam woman smiled.
"What's wrong with a scholar? I'm also a scholar." The bald man glared at his eyes.
"Just you, cut it." The woman in the cheongsam said with contempt, "The calluses between the tiger's mouth and index finger of the right hand must be held by a knife all year round, and there is a greasy smell on her body. And your pair of leather shoes have not been wiped for several years. I think you are either a chef or a butcher."
Not only the bald man was surprised at this moment, but even Lu Xiyan and Tan Si were surprised. This looked like a wind. The woman of Chen's cheongsam actually had such keen observation and analysis skills.
"Stinking bitch, do you dare to look down on me?" The bald man suddenly became angry and stood up from the bed, looking extremely disgusted.
"I've been told, and I'm so angry." The woman in the cheongsam had no intention of fear at all, and the expression of contempt on her face became even more serious.
"M's..." The bald man raised his hand and was about to hit him.
"This gentleman, everyone is away, it's not easy. Don't do anything for a little bit of things, especially when hitting women, you will be laughed at." Lu Xiyan raised his hand, held the bald man's waved arm and persuaded him.
"That's yours, too, you should be careful when speaking. This woman always keeps her mouth unforgivable and offends others, and that will suffer."
"Boy, I want you to meddle in other people's business." Although the bald man cursed, he still took his hand back.
"Thank you, Mr., for your teaching. The little girl is extremely grateful. However, the outfit she wears is really impossible to climb up and down." The cheongsam woman said aggrievedly.
When Lu Xiyan saw that the other party was wearing a cheongsam, it was indeed a bit difficult to get on and off the bed. Based on the principle of being out and being convenient for others, he nodded and said, "That's it, just sleep on my lower bunk and I'll sleep on the upper bunk."
"Sir, why are you so embarrassed?"
"It's okay, I'll clean up."
"No need, sir, I'll do it myself. I'm embarrassed to let you get out of the lower bunk." The cheongsam woman said gratefully.
Lu Xiyan took his suitcase, put it on, then climbed up, and lay down. The upper bunk was indeed not comfortable. When he raised his head and sat up, his waist was not straight.
No wonder the price of the upper bunk ticket is much lower than that of the lower bunk. Who would like to sleep with the lower bunk?
"Sir, your surname is yours?"
"I'm in the next surname." Lu Xiyan said. He had nothing to hide. On the surface, he was not an agent and did not need to use a pseudonym.
"Where is Mr. Lu?"
"Shanghai."
"Oh, Mr. Lu is from Shanghai. No wonder he has such a friendly accent. I am from Shanghai. Where does Mr. Lu live?" The woman in cheongsam leaned against the edge of the bed, put her legs on the ladder, holding a cigarette in her hand, and sucking the clouds and sniffling.
"Swaying hoofs!" The bald man said in disgust.
The cheongsam woman disagreed, and from the bald man with his eyebrows wide open, he chuckled: "My name is Susu, what is Mr. Lu going to Haifang Port for?"
“Do business.”
"Oh, do business, are you always rich?" The woman in the cheongsam said with her eyes shining.
"It's just a small business to support the family." Lu Xiyan closed his eyes and said, "Everything is fine anyway, and someone is talking well."
"I'm going to do business, too," Su Su said.
"Are you doing that kind of business?" The bald man heard it, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth that could only be understood and unspeakable.
"Pig slaughter, have I talked to you?" Su Su said with a cold eyebrow.
"I said you want to hook and lead others, just say it directly, why do you have to go around such a big bend?" The bald man said from Lu Xi with one head, "Mr. Lu, if you are willing, we two just assumed that they didn't see it."
"Pig slaughter, what do you mean?"
"What can I do? One is a cheap guy who sells it, and the one who is a soft-hearted person, you two are really born a couple." The bald man scolded Lu Xiyan too.
Tan Si couldn't listen anymore, so he sat up from the bed and leaned down: "Have you had enough quarrels? I still let people sleep. I want to quarrel and go out and quarrel."
"And you, you pinched the cigarette. If you put in such a small amount of space, we will have to finish playing. We won't go out if we smoke?" Tan Si pointed to Su Su, a woman in the cheongsam with her hand.
Su Su changed color slightly, obviously scared by Tan Si's fierce expression. There was a fourth person in this cabin who had not spoken.
The bald man turned over and turned his face inside, as if he wanted to be invisible.
After extinguishing the cigarette butts in his hand, the woman in the cheongsam also lay down with her clothes.
However, the restless person is restless after all. Within ten minutes, Su Su got off the bed, leaned against the iron frame, put on the shawl of the fox fur, seemed to deliberately stroke her hair and leaned into Lu Xiyan's ear and said, "Mr. Lu, what business are you doing?"
Of course, Lu Xiyan knew that the person on the lower bunk was not a simple woman. He always stayed away from Feng Chen Woman, turned over and turned around, and thought he had heard nothing.
"Nothing interesting at all, it's disappointing." Su Su curled her lips and muttered in a low voice.
"I'll go out and smoke a cigarette."
...
On the busiest streets in Kowloon, after the fifth day of the New Year, basically all the shops on this street are open, so there are naturally more people shopping. Moreover, the Chinese New Year is just over and in the first lunar month, even if everyone does not have new clothes, they will at least wear clean and tidy clothes before going out.
After Meng Fanxing sent Lu Xiyan away at the wharf, he went to the post office and helped Lu Xiyan mail the first draft of his "doctoral thesis" to the air express delivery.
Then when he got home, Zhou Fuhai's wife Yang Shuhui came and made an appointment to go shopping together.
Yang Shuhui's identity is not as good as the wives of those who ran away with her husband, but she really has no friend who can talk to her.
Meng Fanxing saved her son's life, and everyone happened to be neighbors. More importantly, Lu Xiyan's family came from Shanghai, and Zhou Fuhai urgently needed to understand the situation in Shanghai.
The news conveyed from the newspaper and Lin Shiqun cannot be completely believed.
"Mrs. Lu, look, what's the material? The color is pretty good. You can make a cheongsam. I know there is a tailor shop with very good skills."
"This material is good, mature and elegant, and it matches your temperament, Mrs. Zhou." Meng Fanxing smiled.
"Is that true?" Yang Shuhui said, "Boss, wrap this material for me."
"Okay, ma'am."
"Mrs. Lu, you can also pick a piece of material. Let's make a cheongsam together?"
In the end, Meng Fanxing couldn't resist and picked a piece of simple Sangbo satin fabric and went to the tailor shop introduced by Yang Shuhui.
